As you might expect, as a professional astrologer, I meet a lot of misunderstandings not just about my work as a stargazer, but also about the technical parts of astrology. The fact that Aquarius is a water sign is one of the most common, albeit harmless, misconceptions. I can understand the misunderstanding here, especially with “aqua” as the prefix, but after you learn more about Aquarius, it becomes evident that it is an air sign. Aquarius, the eleventh and penultimate sign of the zodiac, is the final air sign, which means it deals with air-related topics (which we’ll get into more detail about later). Aquarius is the most imaginative, progressive, rebellious, and humanitarian of all the zodiac signs. While Aquarius is frequently seen plotting revolutions or boldly exhibiting their quirky fashion sense, they also have a sensitive side that demands praise, support, and affection.

Is Aquarius an air or a water sign?
Bob Dylan, Marilyn Monroe, Kanye West, Che Guevara, Anne Frank, Josephine Baker, Tupac Shakur, and Angelina Jolie are just a few notable Gemini Suns who aren’t former presidents. Despite not knowing them personally, the most striking similarities are the malleability of their identities throughout time, even in the public mind, and even after death. That duality can be frightening at times, but it’s more often than not a wonderful strength and survival skill.
The scales are LIBRA. Isn’t it lovely to have perfect balance? In theory, wouldn’t it be wonderful to have it all? Even if it’s an impossibility, Libra persists in her pursuit of the ideal. Libra is a sign of adjustment, of making place for something other than oneself. Libra “holds space” and attends to the needs of others as well as their own.
Libra is prone to superficiality, not because of a lack of depth, but because it is the most convenient way for others to encounter her. Small talk on elevator rides and in grocery lines is a strength for Libra, who recognizes how such brief exchanges can change the direction of a day, instilling hope and confidence in humanity in even the most mundane situations. Libra’s capacity to accommodate others can sometimes be viewed as a flaw. Their propensity to accommodate everyone else’s wants in order to maintain harmony is often self-defeating. Libra can completely let up of their own goals and desires in order to avoid friction and conflict. However, Libra is correct in that no one can truly win if no one ever takes a L and lets others win.
Libra is a cardinal sign controlled by Venus, and it is a starting force. This Venusian energy can show as a superficial fixation with appearances, but it can also imply a profound awareness of the most broad and abstract measurements of beauty – rhythm, poetics, and the golden mean. Libra is a sign of aspirational beauty or inspirational radiance. Even in the face of the most unjust and tainted systems, Libra yearns for justice.
Kim Kardashian, John Lennon, Bonnie Parker (from Bonnie and Clyde), Serena Williams, Oscar Wilde, Barbara Walters, and Gandhi are all Libra Suns. The roots of these heroes’ success were built on collaboration and balance, regardless of how we remember them individually. Without the help of others, their victories and controversies would not have been possible. Libran qualities, regardless of where the sign falls in your horoscope, are becoming increasingly crucial to nurture in this self-absorbed online era.
The water bearer is AQUARIUS. This frequently leads to others, particularly Aquarians, mistaking it for a water sign. Aquarius, on the other hand, is unmistakably an air sign, the most ethereal and abstract of the three. If Gemini is concerned with self-identity and Libra is concerned with cooperation, Aquarius is concerned with a universal grasp of air ideals. Aquarius is obsessed with the broad picture, with the huge ideas that come to mind in dreams but are rarely realized in waking life. As a result, Aquarians are equally prone to participate in larger humanitarian efforts as they are to disappear from daily encounters. Their obsession with theory frequently prevents them from connecting with current, pressing issues.
The phrase “Age of Aquarius” appears frequently in New Age literature and in the musical Hair. This doesn’t mean the moon is in the seventh house, Jupiter is aligned with Mars, or that the majority of the words in “Let the Sunshine In” are accurate. However, the overarching message can be found someplace. Everyone would be connected to higher-order notions and dreamscapes in a potential Aquarian Age. Instead of being distracted from our bigger human connection by petty, banal nonsense, we would all be ready to reconcile ourselves with the universal. Only time will tell if we’ve truly entered the Aquarian Age, but in the meanwhile, we may rely on Aquarian beings to serve as energy conduits.
Aquarius is ruled by Saturn, the planet of order and discipline, making it a powerhouse and a serious thinker. It’s a fixed sign, which means it’s impervious to outside influences. Aquarius is distinct and distinctive, not because we aren’t all distinct and special, but because they are adamant about preserving their originality in the face of distraction and change.
Among the most notable Aquarius Suns are Galileo, Rosa Parks, Bob Marley, Yoko Ono, Oprah, and Paris Hilton. Rather of being pure representations of their personal identities, their names have become synonymous with symbols, movements, and eras. Their influence and celebrity are linked to something much larger than themselves.
What kind of person is a person born under the sign of Aquarius?
The Water Bearer, a symbol of the Gods providing critical nourishment to the Earth, represents Aquarius, the 11th zodiac sign. Aquarians are mature, self-sufficient, intelligent, extraordinary, and hopeful. Their elemental sign is Air. Aquarians, like air, don’t have a distinct form and seem to defy categorization.
What is it about Aquarius that makes it so unique?
The fact that this fixed sign is born in the middle of winter (January 20 to February 18) contributes to their resilience. Consider them the zodiac’s Sansa Stark, because Aquarius characteristics include being courageous, independent, strong leaders, and, well, extremely badass.
Aquarius and Aquarius
When two Aquarians get together, they quickly become fast friends. Because they have so many characteristics, they have plenty of common interests to bond over. A couple of Aquarians will have plenty to speak about and will bond over their mutual interest in social justicea shared interest that could lead them into activism and other humanitarian initiatives together.
The intimacy factor is where this matchup becomes difficult. It’s simple for two Aquarians to try to hide the elephant in the room (their emotions) by vehemently debating every topic but their own. Bulldozing through the walls in this relationship will take hard work and mutual dedication, but if both Aquarians are prepared to do so, the connection they’ll find on the other side will be one built on firm footing.
Aquarius and Gemini
Gemini and Aquarius are two Air signs with a strong first appeal due to their loose spirits and jovial personalities. Because they’re both interested in a wide range of cultural themes and enjoy analyzing the world around them, these two will have lots to talk about. Wherever this duo travels, there will undoubtedly be chatter.
When the honeymoon period of their relationship wears off, this couple may struggle. Gemini and Aquarius’ ability to endure the relationship’s shift to the real-and-raw will be determined by their desire to be completely honest, even if it hurts.
Aquarius and Libra
Libra and Aquarius, another Air sign, are a lively couple who enjoy being surrounded by hundreds of their “closest friends.” They’re both daring, and their wandering spirits are wonderful complements! This couple is also slow to anger and can keep things lighter in general. A happy and healthy relationship between an Aquarius and a Libra is full of laughing and enjoyment.
When things get a little bumpy, it’s typically due to a lack of closeness. Libra is more impassioned by nature than aloof Aquarius, so these two will have to overcome their predisposition to avoid emotional confrontation. Instead, people must freely and honestly discuss their wishes and requirements. If they do, they’re on their way to a happy life!
Aquarius and Sagittarius
Sagittarius and Aquarius have a natural connection to each other since they both have a strong will to live. Both signs are content to let the other preserve their independence in the partnership, and they appreciate not having to fight for their own. Because Sagittarius and Aquarius are eager to be open with one another, their lives will be full of wonder and curiosity.
However, the downside of this all-or-nothing situation is that both Sag and Aquarius are commitment phobic. This couple is frequently seen in long-term partnerships, although they are hesitant to label anything. This could be due to a fear of the commonplace, rather than a lack of ability to love on someone! Sagittarians and Aquarians will have a successful relationship if they understand that their hesitancy to commit stems from a genuine respect for the other’s independence.
Aquarians must find balance and compromise in order to get along with Aries, Leos, Virgos, and Scorpios.
What is the Aquarius soulmate’s name?
Geminis, like Aquarius, are air signs with comparable interests and ways of dealing with life events. According to DashaSpeaks, both signs are noted for their quest for knowledge.
In an interview with Bustle, astrologer Lupe Terrones believes that people born under the sign of Aquarius put friendship above everything else in a relationship.
“They won’t have any trouble committing as long as the connection has platonic value,” Terrones added.
“Breaking up with a friend is more difficult for an Aquarius than ghosting a relationship.”
Is Aquarius the most uncommon zodiac sign?
The 12 zodiac signs each have their own set of personality qualities and are unique in their own way (they each even have a corresponding tarot card and connection to your health). Nothing, however, compares to being the rarest. You might be wondering what the rarest zodiac sign is.
Aquarius is the sign that persons born between January 20 and February 18 belong to. “January and February have the fewest births, making Aquarius the rarest zodiac sign,” says Lisa Stardust, an astrologer in New York City and author of Saturn Return Survival Guide: Navigating This Cosmic Rite of Passage.
going home one night and being so angry by my absence in his home that he ate a whole chicken. With his hands, no less! He was also a vegetarian. The other Aquarius and I share a Google doc that is all about locations we want to eat chicken. What is the relationship here? It is and it isn’t chicken. What it actually is, of course, is appetite. An Aquarius is always hungry, and sometimes that hunger can be satiated by food, and sometimes food is simply a placeholder, and, sometimes, an Aquarius has a hunger that can take over the world.
It’s this hunger that keeps an Aquarius moving. It’s this appetite that is why, if they were an animal, an Aquarius would be a shark. If they were a flower, an Aquarius would be a Venus flytrap. If they were a monster, an Aquarius would be a vampire. If they were a color, they would be white, because they would be eating every other color in existence. If they were a piece of jewelry, they would be a studded collar, because they’d be attempting to contain all that was within them, and they’d want to remind you they were a little bit dangerous.
Really, though, an Aquarius is a lot dangerous, because the truth is always dangerous, and it’s always weird, and it’s always exciting, just like an Aquarius, who does things all the time that might make you scared if you were them (like that time I saw Styles stage-dive into a crowd of teenage girls who had… not enough in the way of upper-body strength to keep him aloft), but that don’t make them scared, because somehow they just know they will be okay. An Aquarius will ride you around on their bike’s handlebars, and encourage you to lift up your arms along with them when you start to down a slope. Never mind that it’s raining and the road is slick and treacherous, raise your arms along with them. If an Aquarius is telling you to do something, you know everything will be alright. An Aquarius knows things. You can trust them.
Is it easy for Aquarius to fall in love?
They are more concerned with the community than with themselves or a love partner. It doesn’t rule out the possibility of Aquarius falling in love. It simply takes a very long time.
